TOTTENHAM came back from two goals down to beat Burnley as set up an FA Cup fourth-round tie with Leicester.

Paulinho and Etienne Capoue cancelled out Marvin Sordell and Ross Wallace goals that had fired the Clarets into an early lead.

Vlad Chiriches headed Spurs ahead for the first time after the break before Danny Rose cracked home a fourth moments later.

The win means Spurs will host Leicester on 24 January in the fourth round.

Spurs went into the game with in-form striker Harry Kane on the bench and Mauricio Pochettino paid for his decision to make seven changes to the XI that lost 2-1 to Crystal Palace at the weekend as Burnley surged into an early lead.

Sordell rocketed home a long ball over the top from 16 yards out to send the travelling Clarets fans into raptures.

And just five minutes later it was 2-0 when Wallace let rip from 25 yards and benefitted from a huge deflection off Roberto Soldado to wrong-foot Michel Vorm in the Spurs goal.

It was all Burnley but Spurs showed their resolve within two minutes as Paulinho chested a Soldado flick on before half-volleying past Tom Heaton.

And Pochettino's men drew level moments before half time when Paulinho fluffed an effort off Ben Davies' pull back into Capoue's path, leaving the Frenchman free to smash into the net - only after Soldado had scuffed an open goal effort onto the crossbar and clear.

The break offered little respite for Burnley, as Chiriches capitalised on a dreadful Heaton mistake to nod Spurs into the lead. Heaton rose high for a corner but came nowhere near it, handing Chiriches the simplest of finishes just four minutes after the restart.

And less than three minutes later the tie was put beyond doubt when Rose rounded off Soldado's superb low cross-goal cross to storm into the net at the far post.

The goal killed the game and the mood as Burnley offered little opposition while Spurs sauntered through to the fourth round.
